Dancehall Fashion

Dancehall Fashion under the influence of Jamaican Culture

The 'dancehall style' largely influenced by jamaican culture and Dancehall Music and also associated with the Carribeans is very unique and distinct and the fashion industry and the masses have adopted the trend world wide. 

The trend has since evolved from the signature Bell bottoms, Tailored pants, Platform Shoes, stone washed jeans, fishnets and chinese burns,locks,colored wigs,turbans or afro highstyle that rocked the 60s, 80s and 90s. The colors however have remained the same; Yellow, Black and Red. 

The 90s brought with it great changes in the fashion industry in Jamaica. They started embracing other cultures and trends. We now see jamaicans incorporating their culture with big western brands and trends such as Tribal Prints, Jumpsuits, Body Con Dresses and Slim Fitting Pencil Skirts and Neon. 

Today the influence of jamaican culture is felt and seen on the Streets, Music Videos and Runways.It also cuts across all genres of music from Dance Pop to R n B, Rock and Roll et al. The trend is more pronounced in Reggae and Dancehall music hence making the artists more endearing to their fans.

The Acid/Stone Washed Denims, Chinese Burns, Turbans, and Fishnets, Colored Wigs and Afro Hairstyles have made a big comeback and are trending today.

Try the turban trend; a fashionable and refreshing way to amp your look.It's borrowed from the 20s and 40s and has since evolved. There are several ways of tying a turban.You are free to rock it anyhow; in a knot, wrapped around a number of times, have it braided or you can make a pretty girlie bow with it. Always keep in mind the shape of your head as you decide on how to tie the turban. Depending on how you wrap it, you can give your wrap an ethnic,bohemian, tribal or haute vibe. Check out how some of our local fashionistas have pulled the trend.

 Fashion seems to love her and it follows her everywhere. She loves that we all think she is gorgeous and surprisingly, she was not a follower of fashion and she does not dress to impress. She credits her Stylist Micaela Erlanger for her flawless red carpet fashion sense.

Possibly the world's cutest pair!Beauteous Sarah Hassan, who is also the Host of Citizen TV's Wedding Show and actor turned singer Nick Mutuma are good to look at. We refer to their kind as 'easy on the eye'. And easy-on-the-eye they are indeed, because you can sit and stare at them the whole day long.

NTV's Larry Madowo and Victoria Rubadiri

Who said watching news has to be boring due to formal, rigid and terse presentations? Larry and Victoria always make room for light moments as they deliver the most comprehensive news on TV. Do you remember the day that Larry asked Victoria to stand, calling her his sweetheart and then he presented her with a Swiss Chocolate? I bet the same query will also linger in your mind.

We also enjoyed watching Joyce Omondi and Njugush every sunday morning on Rauka and Anita and Nderu and Antoneosoul every Saturday on Teen's Republic. Joyce Omondi went abroad to advance her education and Anita Nderu landed a job at Capital FM as a news anchor. Sheila and Mitch Egwang were also fun to watch!
